Shaw66 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Just now, Logic said: If Del's cool with it, I'm cool with it. Yeah. The tweet is incorrectly. It didn't arise "organically." Del Reid and a couple of other guys created it intentionally. It's maybe gone someplace they didn't actually intend, but it's theirs. Bills can't get rights to the tradename unless the people who are the Bills Mafia organization give it to them. https://buffalofambase.com/what-is-billsmafia/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all the year's of "Bills Mafia" how in the world has no on trademarked it to allow the Bills to get their hands on it but that answers my question if it was pseudo trademarked and they are selling the rights or giving them the rights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills can't get rights to the tradename unless the people who are the Bills Mafia organization give it to them. https://buffalofambase.com/what-is-billsmafia/ That’s not technically true. The Bills own the name “Bills.” You can’t trademark someone else’s trademark. That would be like me claiming they trademark “Disney Family” This is why, as someone stated previously, Del Reid handed over the rights to the name “Bills Mafia” to the team for free. They always owned the trademark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Much rather be known as a Bills fan without the money grabbing moniker. Edited September 7, 2022 by T&C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Old guy moment: I've never been too keen on the whole moniker, having grown up as a fan before it became a thing. 2 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Here is a list of Buffalo Bills trademarks. There are two "Mafia" trademarks, both filed for in Oct. 2020: https://www.gerbenlaw.com/trademarks/nfl/buffalo-bills/ I'm not sure what the "new" part of this news is that PFT is sharing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
